Solution
Total fixed cost and variable cost/unit do not change with change in units.
Variable Cost of sales/unit=(731500/9500)=$77
For selling and administrative costs:
Variable cost=(739780-696000)/(11490-9500)=$22
Total fixed cost=739780-(22*9500)=$530780
Contribution margin=Sales-Variable costs
=134-(77+22)=$35
Hence total Contribution margin
=($35*10060)
which is equal to
=$352100.
